...well on the test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong...

Brian

I've been teaching biology to undergraduates since 2003, as a tenured professor at the University of Redlands and as visiting faculty at various institutions, including Boston College and Williams College. One of my greatest joys in life is seeing my students grow in their skills, their confidence, and the power to shape their futures.... I focus on helping students build a network of ideas so that they can remember and use them. I also guide them through the kinds of problem-solving strategies that experts use. My approach is to meet students where they are and work with them step by step until they master a topic, using positive feedback and encouraging self-reflection along the way.
